Comparison pics needed

#1

Post by thefly01 »

I'm thinking about getting either the Caly 3 or Mini-manix. I currently carry a Lil T. If anyone could post some pics of these compared to the Lil T I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks :)

I don't have a Caly3, but I do have a UKPK, Mini-Manix and Lil' Temp. I'll see if I can get you some pix tomorrow when I have some light.
I don't believe in safe queens, only in pre-need replacements.

Well, light was in short supply today, but I did what I could. Once again, this is a UKPK which does not have liners or the lock like the Caly3, but is the same size otherwise. Hope these help.

My opinion, get the CalyIII. The Mini-Manix has basically the same blade and cutting abilities as the Lil' Temp, and the CalyIII is something completely different. I would get the CalyIII CF ZDP. It might be out of your price range, as it was for me, but since I got it it hasn't left my person. The first thing I did when I got it was cut the shipping box it came in in half. It is an incredible little knife. Since you already have a Lil' Temp, I would invest in the high end CalyIII
